This invention relates to a valve for controlling the discharge ofhot or cold water or both. I l

The Lprimary object of the invention is .to

5 provide a structurel of extremesimplicity, and' one in which a common valve stem is employed "for controlling directly the hot and cold water.

i provide a valve which suitable for lowers, bath tubs, sinks, lavatories, or the v 1re, non-rising .valvestem controllingand reclprocating anon-rotatable disk valve and I5 a rotatable cup-shaped ported valve. The present invention eliminates the cumbersome, expensive and complicated appli-` ances now' on the market and substitutes a simple, inexpensive structure which func- ,tions directly with certainty and ease.

In the drawings: -Fig. 1 represents la vertical sectional view of t e valve mechanism taken on line 1-1 of ig. -2. Fig. 2, discloses a cross sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1,

Referring ncw more; specifically to the drawings, 1 designates a valve chamber which-is preferably )integrally cast to proim vide an upstanding valve seat 2, and hot and cold water inlets, respectively, 3 and 4. This valve chamber has tion 5 to which is 7by means of faste plate 6 has a flanged the flan e 5 aforesai and is furthermore provide with' a depending portion 9 fitting tightly within the face of the chamber 1 4at its upper end. The

secu-red the cover plate 6, g devices 7,. The. cover 4o cover 6 furthermore .maya-.be provided with recesses 10 for receiving the-pins '11, which pms are loosely engaged in recesses 12 located within the body of the disk valve 13. It is obvious that an lother means-may be provided. to prevent rotation vof the disk valve 13. AThe valve-stem 14 is exteriorly threaded as at 15 and meshes with com le mental screw threads 16witl1'in-"the isk valve body. aforesaid. It will thus' be seen upon thefrotation of the'valve stem 14 that the disk valve moves vertically butisprevented lfrom rotation byvirtue of the pins 11. The `-disk valvev may have attached to' its lower face the composition disk 17 by 55. means of elements 18, functiomng toseat upon the part-2 of. thevalve'chamber when which comprises the combination of a` lated amounts of'hot and introduced by `simultaneously bringing pora thickened flanged por-- ortion 8 supported on stem 1 may be employed, which packing confines of the inner surinits closed position, the disk preferably being flexible enough to permit atight seal between disk'valve 13 and seat Secured to the stem at the lower portion thereof is a ported valve 19 which is substantially cup-shaped and is ported as at 20' and 21. This ported member V19 has an easy turning non-binding loose fit within A further object of the invention is to\ the casing 22 of the chamber land is adapted for free rotatable movement therein. This' cup valve is journalled and is rotatably supported by the lower portion of the casing meansof the stepped surface 23.

.From the foregoing, it will be noted that upon a rotary movement being imparted to the stem 14 by manipulating handle 14', the

disk valve will be lmoved upwardly,V but without causing a rising movementV of the stem. The rotation, of the stem will likewise control the cup ported member19 to admit directly either hot or cold water through the inlets3 or 4 through the ports 20 or 21. Furthermore,

cold water, can be tions of the ports 20 'and 21 into register with if desired, regu.

the direct inlets 3 and 4, the Awater being mixed within the cup-'shaped portedl valve 19, and it is obvious that by manipulating the stem 14, the member 19can be rotated lto secure a mixture -of hot and cold water of the desired temperature. The water thus admitted rises upwardly around Jthe disk valve andthrough the outlet 23.- f If desired, suitable packmgs 24 -for th can be controlled bythe elements 25.

It will be obvious that any water leaking around the ported valve, when 'the same is 1n closed position, will be prevented from discharging by virtueof the disk valve. It wills-furthermore be obvious that the rotation of the stem 14 will simultaneously comprising a housing, anon-rising stem .I

journalled in said housing, said stern being exteriorly threaded, a disk valve havin 1nterior threads meshing with the threa s of the stem, means for preventing rotation of the disk valve' during its -reclprocatory movement, a seat for said dlsk valve, a

ported 'direct inlet valve carried by said valve stem, and adapted for rotary movement Without reciprocation, said'housing being provided with means for introducing hot and cold Water directly to said ported valve, said rotaryvalve being adapted for selective registration with said inlets.

2. A mixing device comprising a casing having a plurality of inlets, an outlet for said casing, a non-rising stem mounted Within said casing, anon-rotating disk valve reciprocable upon rotation of said stem, said casing being provided with a valve seat for the disk valve when it is in its. closed position,- a top for said casing, said top and disk valve having communicating recesses, pins mounted Within said recesses for preventing rotation o the disk valve during its reciprocatory movement, a cup valve rigidly secured to the lower extremity of said valve stem and adapted uponV rotation for direct selective communicationI with said inlets.V

3. A mixing device comprising a casing having inlets and an outlet, a non-rising valve stem Within said casing, a non-rotating valve `reciprocable upon rotation of said to the inlets, to thereby prevent leakage esf caping through the outlet of said valve casing.

4. A mixing device for hot and cold Water comprising a valve casing, direct hot and cold water inlets for said casing, a nonrising valve stem, a non-rotatable disk valve reciprocable upon rotation of the valve stem, a cup-shaped inlet valve attached to said stem and rotatable Without reciprocation therewith, said cup valve having ports in its side positioned at substantially right angles and adapted for registration With either of said hot or cold Water inlets or both, a single discharge passage for said casing, said reciprocating disk valve being operative When said inlet valve is in its lnon-registering position with respect to the inlets of the valve casin g WALTER J.
